INTRODUCTION. 

This little volume Avas nudertaken from a sense of dutv, and al- 
thongh it has been a work lasting, all told, for more than three 
years, and crowded into an otherwise busy life, it has proven to be 
a very pleasant duty. 

Lucinda (Maulsby) Davis (TO), grandmother of the author, 
was very enthusiastic about having a genealogy of the Maulsby 
family written, that the family history should be preserved. She 
left at lier death a package of letters which contained valuable 
material for the present work. This material has been used, 
although in almost every case, verified. Careful research has 
been made of the early Maulsby generations from both Quaker 
and government records. The result of the research has been 
gratifying. There is no obscure place in our history, the way 
by which we came being perfectly plain from the time when 
John and Mary Maulsby and little son Merchant, landed in Penn- 
sylvania in 1699. An authentic family record, running back 
for over tAvo hundred years, is something of which to be proud ! 

The Friends or Quakers arose, about 1650 in an age of great 
superstition, and corruption in both church and state. In their 
revolt at these, they determined to keep aloof from everything 
that savored of paganism. To this end they refused to use the 
names of days and months bestowed in honor of pagans or their 
idols. They used the numerals, first, second, third, and so on, 
for the days of the week and the months of the year. In Pennsyl- 
vania, fovmded by Wlliam Penn in 1682, the Quakers controlled 
legislation for many years, and sanctioned by law the numerical 
method of dating. 

The following section is from 

"The great law or the body of laws of the Province of Pennsylvania 
and territories thereunto belonging, past at an assembly held at Chester 
(alias Upland), the 7th day of yf 10th month, called December. 1682." 

"35. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid that the 
dayes of the Week and ye months of the year shall be called as in 



GENEALOGY OF THE 



Scripture & not by Heathen names (as are vulgarly used) as the first sec- 
ond and third days of ye Week and first second and third months of ye 
year, and beginning with ye day called Sunday and the Month called 
March." 

According to the English cnstoni, the ecclesiastical, or legal 
year began March 25. The Quakers held to that method of dating 
so that dates in their records before 1752 are in old style. An 
act was passed in parliament in 1751 adopting the Gregorian 
calender and making the following year begin with January 
first. The London and Philadelphia Quakers recognized the 
change of style, and began 1752 with January 1st as their first 
day of the first month. The dates in this book, before 1752 
where the numerical method is used, are old style. The follow- 
ing calendars are given for those wdio wish' to change old style 
(o. s.) into the modern method of dating:

The Friends disdained all titles, claiming that all were equal 
in God's sight, and that it was wrong for any one to feel su- 
])erior or inferior to another. Even the titles, Mr., Mrs., and Miss, 
were not used by early Eriends, and out of respect to the views 
held by our grandfathers and grandmothers on that sul)ject, they 
are not used in tlie -[present volume.

The ship "Bristol Merchant,*' John StejJiens, captain made a 
trip from England to America in the fall of 1699. On board 
was William Penn coming- for his last visit to America/ with a 
company of English Friends coming to make homes in the Xew 
World. William Penn had removed to Bristol, in western Eng- 
land in 1697. His residence there and the name of the ship 
^'Bristol Merchant", would indicate that they sailed from Bris- 
tol, but nothing definite has been ascertained as to the place 
from which tjiey end)ark('d. Among the company were John and 
]\rarv ]\Iaulsby. They were young Quakers of English stock, 
recently married in England, probably in 1698. During the 
voyage a son was b(n-n to them, whom they named ^Merchant, for 
the shij) in Avhich they sailed, and in which he was born. The 
ship landed at Chester, Pennsylvania, ]^ovember 30 or December 
1, 1699. John ]\Iaulsby, wife Mary, and son Merchant, were the 
first of our ^Taulsby (sjielled then Maultsby) family in America. 
John ]\Iaulsl)y bduglit a hirge tract of land about thirteen miles 
from Phihidelphia, north and a little west of the city, in the 
Plymouth Settlement. On account of the growth of the city, 
the site of tlie old ]\laulsby homestead is now within six or seven 
miles of the Philadel])hia limits. 



GENEALOGY OF THE 



THE PLYMOUTH SETTLEMENT. 

The earliest settlers of Plyiiioutli Settlement were from Plym- 
outh, Devonshire, England, giving the name of their old home 
to the new. Francis Rawle and James Fox had purchased from 
William Penn, before their departure for America in 1686, a 
tract of land of 5,327 acres, practically lhe same as the present 
township of Plymouth, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. The 
deed given by William Penn years later, in 1701, is still pre- 
served. In it the following boundaries are given for the town- 
ship: ''Beginning at the birch tree standing by the River Skuyl- 
kill being a corner dividing it from the land first laid out to 
Major Jasper ffarmer extending from thence by an (dd line of 
marked trees northeast twelve hundred and ninety-six perches to 
a corner marked White oak standing in the line of Whitpain's 
Township from thence by an old line of marked trees northwest 
seven hundred and ninety-two perches to a corner marked hick- 
ory dividing this from the reputed land of Benjamin Chandjers 
from tlience by an old line of marked trees southwest eight hun- 
dred and forty ])erches to a corner nnirked hickory standing l)y 
the said River Skuylkill by the several courses thereof to the first 
mentioned birch tree containing five thousand three hundred and 
twenty-seven acres and seventy-nine perches of land." (Taken from 
"Plymouth Meeting" by Elhvood Roberts.) This deed was given 
to enable the owners the better to assure a title to purchasers from 
them. After living there for several years and making improve- 
ments the owners became dissatisfied with their isolated life in the 
woods and moved into Philadel})liia. Some time afterwards they 
sold large tracts of land to ditferent ])urchasers, David Meredith, 
Thomas Owen, Isaac Price, and others from Wales, and John 
Maulsby from England, all Quakers, being among the early pur- 
chasers. Ezra Michener, in his "Retrospect of Early Quakerism" 
•says : "James Fox and other friends settled about Plymouth in 



MAUL8BY FAMILY. 



the year 1685 ( ?) and held meetings at Fox's house. But they 
soon after removed from the place, and were succeeded by David 
Meredith and several friends, Avho attended Merion meeting." 
The iirst settlement, however, was not before 1686. 

David Meredith bought 980 acres of land, and built a three- 
story house wdiich is still standing, although over two hundred 
vears old. John Maulsbv bought his tract of land near what is 




PLYMOUTH BURIAL GROUND. 
(From Ell wood Roberts' "Plymouth Meeting.") 

now known as Cold Point, east and less than a half mik^ from 
Plymouth Meeting House. The old Maulsl)y mansion, a little 
over one-half mile from the Meeting House, was a very substantial 
colonial house. It was torn down about thirty years ago, a lime 
stone quarry near having caved in and undermined its founda- 
tions. Ill this lioiiu' John and Mary Manlsl)y reared their chil- 
dren, lived their lives, and died. 'V\w site of the home is a very 
l)icturesque s^iot, "the range of high hills, ])art of the Edge Hill 



10 GENEALOGY OF THE 

or Smith Valley range, jutting' sharply out into the plain and 
forming a land mark that can be seen for miles." Part of the 
original tract of land 'is owned hv John Maulsby's descendants, 
the C'orsons. Anyone wishing to visit the site of the old Maulsby 
home can take the Chestnut Hill trolley car line in Philadelphia 
— this line passes Plymouth Meeting House on the way to Xorris- 
town. Or the trip can be made by rail to Xorristown, and then 
three miles south, to the Meeting House, on the trolley car. 

John Maulsby was a yeoman or farmerj Plymouth township 
was the finest kind of woodland, tind)ered lieavily with white oak, 
the soil underlaid with lime stone. When cleared of timber it 
w^as, and is today, a rich farming country. The township is now 
dotted with villages, a village and post office near Plymouth 
Meeting House being called "Plymouth Meeting." The products 
of the pioneer days were corn, wheat, rye, buckwheat, potatoes. 

The deed, of which a fac-similc is given, is from John and Mary 
Maultsby to John Davies for fifty acres of the original tract bought 
in Plymouth. The price, forty pounds for fifty acres, is in strik- 
ing contrast to the price of land in that township now — one hun- 
dred to three hundred dollars per acre. The deed, which has 
never been recorded, is written on parchment, and is especially 
valuable on account of the signatures of John and Mary Maulsby 
as grantors, and of Marchant and William Maulsby, twenty-seven 
years later, as witnesses remembering the signing of the deed by 
their parents. 

The very early Friends of Plymouth Settlement held their 
meetings at the house of James Fox, later in the same house, then 
in possession of Hugh Jones. Later still at the house of David 
Meredith, the room in which meetings were held having under- 
gone very little change. Formerly a partition extended across the 
room, dividing it into the men's and women's rooms. The par- 
tition swung on rude hinges, so the rooms could be thrown to- 
gether when desired. Plymouth ]\Ieeting Jlouse was l)uilt about 
1710 near the burving ground, wliere the dead had been buried

since the starting of the settlement. John and Mary Maulsby 
were hnried in the okl portion of the bnrying ground, without 
nionnnient t(» mark the resting pU:iee, as was customary with 
Friends at tliat rime. 

It is thought the Meeting House was built by the voluntary 
labor and contribution of material, as no reference is made to 
payment of bills in the Monthly Meeting Records. The original 
structure remains, although it has undergone alterations. It is 
the ])art nearest the old part of the bnrviiig gnuiiul. 

Some time after, an addition called the "school end" of the 
meeting house was built for school })urposes. Friends school being 
held there for several years. The Philadelphia Yearltn^g Meet- 
ing recommended Friends in the disposition of their property, to 
make provision for educating the young. The history of the So- 
ciety of Friends in this country shows careful provision always 
for the maintenance of schools. Plymouth was essentially the 
same as later settlements where the older Maulsbys lived, a com- 
pany of Friends living together with many interests in common — 
always a grave yard, a meeting, a school. 

Plymouth school was well attended, boys es]iecially coming 
from a distance on horseback. The old Meeting House, as in the 
frontis]uece, stands essentially the same today. In 1807 it was 
partially destroyed by fire, but was rebuilt, the old walls being 
used. The two small p(U-ches have been re])laepd l)y one deep 
porch extending across the front of the building. Plymouth 
Friends still h(dd meetings there. It is said that the place is 
singularly quiet and restful — the old Meeting House, with the 
old trees throwing their shadows upon it, the burying ground 
near, hallowed by the precious dead of two hundred years. 

In 1714: Plymouth and Gwynedd were organized into one meet- 
ing, known ever since as Gwyufdd ]\[onthly ]\leeting, the Monthly 
Meetings being held alternately between Plymouth and 
Gwynedd. The iSTorristown Friends belong with them, and al-

Among the early ministers at Plymonth were Ellis Piigh, 
Welsh, Rowland, Ellis, Welsh, and William Trotter. It was prob- 
ably to their preaching more than to any others that Johii 
]\[anlsbv, wife ^Mary and their sons listened. Gwynedd fleeting 
gave testimonials of these ministers' lives and ministry. The 
following memorial to William Trotter will be interesting from 
its qnaint style, as well as from the fact that he knew and Avas 
known of onr people : 

"Our friend, William Trotter, late of Plymouth, in the county 
of Philadelphia, s;)n (if William Trotter, was born in the fnurtli 
month, 1(11)5, of religious parents and was educated amongst 
Friends. 

"As he grew in years, he was blessed in that he grew in grace, 
and in the fear and knowledge of our l)lessed L(U*d and Savior 
Jesus Christ. 

"About the twenty-first year of his age, he received a gift in the 
ministry, in which he was frequently exercised during the course 
of his life. His ministry was sound and savory, and attended 
with a remarkably good degree of that life and power, 'By which 
the dead are raised, and without which all preaching is vain.' 

"He was not tedious or burdensome but often very reaching and 
edifying to his hearers. In his life and conversation he was grave, 
yet innocently cheerful, and strictly just in his dealings, also a 
lover and promoter of peace, unity, and brotherly love amongst 
friends of which himself was a good pattern. 

"He was generally beloved during his life, and at his death left 
a good saviour. His removal from time to a happy eternity, 
though certainly his greatest gain, was a considerable loss to the 
meeting where he belonged. 

"He departed this life on the nineteenth of the Tenth month, 
1749, aged about fifty-three years and six months, and was in- 
terred on the twenty-first of the same month in Friends' burying 
ground at Plymouth ; and we believe is gone from his laborious 



MAULS BY FAMILY. 13 



service to receive a heavenly reward (if peace Avliere the 'wicked 
cease from troiibliiig', and the wearv are at rest.' '' 

(Taken from "Plymonth ^Meeting" by Ellwood Roberts.) 

The account of Plymouth Settlement is gleaned from "Plymouth 
Meeting," supplemented by personal help sent by Ellwood Koberts 
of Xorristown, Pa. 

It is certainly with ])ard()nablo ])ride that we pause to pay a 
tribute of respect to John and Mary Maulsby, founders of the 
Maulsby family in America. Exhaustive research failed to give 
a detailed account of their lives, but enough was found to give a 
clear insight into their characters. The very fact of them being 
Quakers, when (Quakerism in England meant disgrace and perse- 
cution, showed that l»otli had courage to stand by their convictions. 
Mary's heroism in starting, when in delicate health, on wdiat was 
then a perilous voyage across the Atlantic, showed her worthy to 
be the mother of a great family, wdio should rise up to call her 
blessed! That the moral character and linancial standing of both 
was above reproach, is evidenced by them belonging to the Society 
of Friends, for that early church looked after the tinances as well 
as the morals of its mend^ers. The buying of the large tract of 
land in Plymouth Settlement shows that John Maulsliy had 
brought something from the Old World to start life in the J^ew. 
He w^as a man among men, an honored member of the early 
Plymouth Settlement. His descendants to the eighth and ninth 
generations carry with them the same business integrity. The 
writer has yet to learn of the lirst person bearing his name, or 
carrying a drop of ^laulsby blood in his veins, who has asked for 
charity I 

All honor to John and Mary Maulsby, who by their courage 
founded a home, where their children and children's children 
conld have the priceless heritage of freedom of conscience in reli- 
gion and freedom from class barriers in social life — wdiere "all 
men are created equal," and each is free to follow the call of duty 
or the beckon of ambition, and make of his life what he wills.

Merchant (spelled also ]\Iarchant) ^Manlsby, born on the voyage 
to America, 1099, probably passed his life in and near the Plym- 
outh Settlement. In 1733 he was a witness to his brother Wil- 
liam's marriage at Plymouth; in 1734 he lived in White Marsh 
township, which joins Plymouth; in 174S he was a witness as 
having seen the signing of a deed given by his parents in 1721. 
John Ax, of Germantown, Philadelphia county, appointed ]\Ier- 
chant Maulsby, Senior, as executor of his will June 1, 1758. 

The will of Merchant Maulsby, of Poxborough township (now 
a i)art of Philadelphia), carpenter, is dated April 25, 1785 ; proved 
December 1, 1785. Mentions children John, Morris, Mary Steam 
and Sarah Maulsby; grandchildren William and Samuel Maulsby, 
Elizabeth Freese and Isabella Steam ; a])])oints son Morris 
Maulsby and Anthony Cook executors. There seems no doubt that 
the Merchant ]\Iaulsby of this will, |)r(»ved December 1, 1785, was 
the Merchant born 1099. His son Merchant died years before; 
the mention of the grandchildren Samuel and Elizabeth, who were 
children of Merchant Maulsby (b) would be almost positive 
proof. ]\Ierchant Maulsby 's (b) descendants who are in Plymouth 
and vicinity are ]:eo])le held in great esteem. 

William Maulsby (a) and Hannah Coulton were married 
March 1(>, 1750, at the Swede's church, Philadelphia.

dated November 29, 1775; proved December 15, 1775, mentioned 
wife Hannah and children Barnaby, William and Ebenezei- 
Maulsby ; appointed brother Morris Manlsby executor. 

Merchant Manlsby (b) married Hannah Davis, daughter of 
Samuel and Jane (Rees) Davis, November, 1766. Jane (Rees) 
Davis was a sister of Rose Rees who married William Maulsby 
(4). Merchant and Hannah Maulsby had two children, Samuel 
(g) and Elizabeth (h). Merchant Maulsby (b) was rebuked by 
the Friends' Meeting in 1780 for taking the oath of allegiance to 
the United Sxates and i)aying a military tax. After Merchant's 
death, which must have occurred about 1780, his widow married 
David ]\Iarple. David Marple, of Horsham township, wheelwright, 
in will dated July 18, 1871, mentions wife Hannah and step-chil- 
dren Sanmel and Elizabeth Maulsby. After David Marple's 
death, Hannah married a Corson, there being two children of the 
last marriage, Dr. Richard Corson of New Hope, who married 
Helen Jackson and Hannah Corson, who married John Bye. 

Samuel Maulsby (g) married in 1799 (one hundred years from 
the birth of his grandfather), Susan Thomas, daughter of Jona- 
than and Alice Thomas. Their children were Hannah (i), who 
married Charles Jarret and left family of children and grand- 
children; Jonathan (j), who married but left no children; Alice 
T. (k), who married Josiah Albertson and left a family of chil- 
dren and grandchildren; Merchant (1), who married Rachel Ed- 
wards and left daughters; Martha T. (m), who married George 
Corson leaving a large family; George (n), who married M. Sovett 
and left no children, and Ellwood (o) who died unmarried. Of 
Samuel's (g) descendants not one bears the Maulsby name.

Mary Langshorne's story is romantic. She ran away from her 
home at St. Bride's, Wales ; took passage on a steamer sailing for 
America; landed in Pliiladelphia and was cared lV)r in the Lloyd 
home. Her parents in Wales hearing of her whereabonts imjilored 
her to return, but she refused to do so and in a short time was 
married to David MauTsby (8). David and Mary Maulsby were

It is said to have been not uncommon, at that time, for sons to

spell the name differently from the parents. It was, however, at 
an early elate that the name became settled in its present form. 

In 1734 William Maulsby owned 200 acres of land in Limerick 
township, Philadelphia (now Montgomery) county, Pa. Every- 
thing indicates that William was a farmer and that after his mar- 
riage the family lived in or near Plymouth for thirty-six years. 
In 1769 they moved into York county, Pa., their home being in 
the part of I*^ewberry township, which is now Fairview township, 
the most northern part of York county. 

At Warrington Monthly Meeting, York county, Pa., 7 mo. 8, 
1769: 

"William Maulsby and wife. Rose, with two children, Benjamin 
and Elenor, produced a certificate from Gwynedd Monthly Meet- 
ing, Philadelphia CV)., dated 5-30-1769." Plymouth and 
Gwynedd were united into the Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, so that 
the certificate was given from Gwynedd Monthly Meeting instead 
of from Plymouth. 

At Warrington Monthly Meeting, York county. Pa., 7 mo. 8, 
1775: "Some friends Living a considerable distance from i^ew- 
berry Meeting requests to have the Liberty of holding week day 
meetings, which is left under Consideration till next meeting." 
(Men's minutes.) "The friends living near Yellow Britches 
(creek) requests to be indulged with holding a week day meeting 
at the House of William Maulsby which is left under considera- 
tion until next meeting." (Women's minutes.) 

At the next Monthly Meeting a committee was appointed by the 
men's meeting and one by the women's meeting to consider holding 
a meeting at W^illiam Maulsby's and "report their sense to next 
meeting." 

9-9-1775, the committees both reported favorable and "nothing 
appearing to object against their request they are allowed to hold 
a meeting on fifth day in each week Except the week of Newbury 
preparative meeting." In order to strengen and encourage them 
a committee from the men's and one from the women's meetinsr 



MAUL8BY FAMILY. 21 



was appointed ''to sit with tliein at times as they may find their 
way opened so to do." 

11-0-1776 '"Xewbury Meeting informs this that the Friends that 
arc Indnlged with the hokling a week day meeting now requests 
Liberty to hokl a first day Meeting at the same place during the 
winter season." It was decided to hohl first day meetings at the 
house of William Maulsby and ''Friends are desired to be thought- 
ful of them, and when way opens in the love of Truth to attend 
that Meeting. William's death occurred before the next record oi 
meetings held at his home. 

1-0-1770, "The Committee appointed by a former Meet- 
ing to have care of the Meeting at the late Dwell- 
ing ])lace of William Maulsby, Deceased, are desired to 
attend that .Meeting and report their sense thereof unto 
next Meeting." The meetings continued at the widow Maulsby 's 
for more than a year. 3-11-1780. "Xewberry Meeting Informs 
this that the Friends of the little Meeting held at the widow 
]\Iaulsby's recpiests to have the Liberty of meeting at the House of 
Samuel Jdlin, it not being convenient for some reasons to meet at 
the former place much longer ; which being considered in this meet- 
ing is concurred with." 

ril()-]770, William ^Lmlsly having desired in his will thai 
guardians be ap])ointed for his son Benjamin as he was not ca])- 
able of acting for himself; Ellis Lewis and Edward Jones were 
appointed guardians for him. 

2-ll-178(), Rose Maulsby requests a certificate to Gunpowder 
for self and son Benjamin. It seems that the certificate was de- 
layed until the estate was scuttled, as the early Friends looked after 
the financial as well as the spiritual welfare of their members. 
Two months after her application for a certificate she had removed 
within the limits of the Gunpowder Monthly Meeting, that Meet- 
ing being in Maryland :d)i)ut fifteen miles northeast of Baltimcu-e.

on land purchased by William Maulsbv, who has not a title, as the 
purchase money is not all paid. The letter from Gunpowder says : 
"We have therefore in behalf of Benjamin taken William 
Maulsbv's Bond of conveyance for as much Land at three pounds 
five shillings p"" acre as amounts to the sum stated in your last 
letter, including the buildings, orchard, meadow Ground and a 
proporti()nal)le part of the Timber Land" which if satisfactory 
an early answer is desired, ''that Rose may obtain a certificate, as 
she seems desirous to sit meetings of business." Rose and son 
received their certificate 1-12-1788. This certificate was received 
at Gunpowder ]\Ionthly Meeting held at Little Falls, Flarford 
county, Md., the 29th of 3rd month, 1788. Xo account of a cer- 
tificate given to Rose Maulsby or son Benjamin, is found in the 
Gunpowder records, so it is probable that they died in Harford 
county, Maryland. 

THE REES FAMILY. 

The Rees family was probabl,v froin Radnorshire, Wales, as the 
certificate of David Meredith given by a Friends ineeting there, 
"att or men's meeting ye 20th Day of ye 5th mo., 1683," has 
Rees ap Rees (the son of Rees) as one of the signatures. Rose 
Maulsbv's parents, John Rees, yeoman, and his wife Hannah, were 
Welsh people, who settled first in Radnor township, Cliester county 
called "Radnor in the Welsh tract," but later moved to tht- 
Plymouth settlement. In 1723 John Rees was a witness to David' 
Meredith's will at Plymouth. After that he was spoken of as 
from Plymouth or Whitpain (an adjoining township) so that from 
1723 or earlier, he and his wife probably made their home in or 
near the Plymouth settlement. In the copy at hand, of the records 
of Plymouth Meeting, Hannah's name appears for tlie last time 
in 1745, as a witness to her daughter Hannah's marriage; John's 
name is seen once more, in 171-0, as a witness to his son John's 
marriage. But years later, 11 mo. 2, 1753, in a will, Hannah 
Rees of Whitpain township, mentions her daughter Rose Maulsby.

To understand the Welsh settlers, let tis look a moment at Welsh 
history in the mother country. The people of Wales were descend- 
ants of the Britons, who retired into the remote portion of the 
island, rather than be subject to the conquerors of Britian. These 
refugees mingled later with the English but did not wholly lose 
their individuality. They were independent, self-reliant, coura- 
geous and thrifty, with a love of their ancient valor kept alive by 
their bards. When George Fox and John ap John traveled through 
the ])rincipality, preaching the new gospel of Quakerism — the 
Inner Light which shone in each soul for its guidance ; the Still 
Voice that spoke to each ; the Kingdom of Heaven within you — 
they found a people especially fitted to receive it. Fitted by their 
self-reliance to understand the "Inner Light" and the ''Still 
Voice," and by their courage to acce])t that religion, althouiih ac- 
companied with persecutions. When William Penn offered them 
homes in Pennsylvania, where they might worship God according 
to the dictates of conscience, unmolested, many accepted the offer 
gladly. They were his trusted friends and helped very materially 
in building up his state. In a letter from England, Fourth month 
14, 1(>01, he said, "Salute me to the Welsh Friends and the 
Plymouth Friends, indeed to all of them." (Accoimt of Rees fam- 
ily gathered from "'Plymouth Meeting" by EUwood Roberts.)

John Maulsby was born in Pennsylvania probably in or near the 
Plymouth Settlement. John Maulsby, son of William Maulsby 
of Limerick, Philadelphia county, was married to Lydia John, 
daughter of Samu(d John of East JSTantmel, 21st of 5tli mo. 1766, 
at ISTantmel Meeting. Xantmel Meeting House was west of 
Plymouth, perhaps ten miles, in East Nantmel township, Chester 
county; the meeting there being a branch of the Uwchlan Monthly 
Meeting in the adjoining township of Uwchlan. The I^^antmel 
Meeting House has disappeared. 

John Maulsby was a farmer. At Warrington Monthly Meet- 
ing, York county, Pa., 7 mo. 8, 1769, John Maulsby produced a 
certificate from Gwynedd, dated 5-30-1769, for himself, wife and 
son JoseplL The date of this certificate and the date when re- 
ceived at Warrington are exactly the same as the dates of the cer- 
tificate of William Maulsby (2) wife Rose and the children Ben- 
jamin and Elenor, so it is probable that the two families moved 
together to York county. Both had their membership in the Xew- 
bury (or Xewberry) ^Meeting, which Avas a branch of Warrington 



28 GENEALOGY OF THE 

Monthly Meeting. John Manlsby and family lived in York connty 
for eight ^^ears. Susannah was a baby wlien their certificate was 
received at Warrington. Joseph died there and into the home was 
born Ann, William and Sarah. 5-10-1777 John Maulsby, wife 
Lydia and four children, received a certificate from Warrington 
to Gunpowder Monthly Meeting, Maryland. Gunpowder Avas a 
little east of south, about fifty miles from their home in York 
county. They doubtless went by what was known as the Baltimore 
and York road, wdiicli in the early days was the great route for 
farmers from York to Baltimore. 

From the minutes of Gunpowder Monthly ]\Ieeting, situated in 
Baltimore county, Maryland, "att our Monthly Meeting held at 
Gun|)()wder, the 20th day of the 0th month 1777, John Maulsby 
attended this meeting with a certificate from Warrington Monthly 
Meeting, Dated the 10th Day of the 5th mo. 1777, Recommending 
himself and his wife Lydia and four children, Susanna, Ann, 
William and Sarah mendiers of our Beligious society, which is by 
this meeting received." In 1770 the Little Falls Preparative 
Meeting (Harford county) chose John Maulsby as Overseer, this 
serving to show that John Maulsby lived in Harford county, where 
many others of the family lived. Before following John Maulsby 
further, let us look a moment at the account of his brothers and 
sisters as found in the Warrington and Gunpowder records. 

DAVID (7). There was a David Maulsby received into mem- 
bership at Gunpowder in 1773, afterward married a Reese, but 
cannot be identified positively as William's (2) son. 

WILLIAM (8) produced a certificate from Gwynedd dated 

7-25-1769, to Warringtcm. In 1774 he was complained of by 
Warrington fen- marriage by a priest (minister) to one not a mem- 
ber. He offered an acknowledgment which was accepted. 8-13- 
1785 a certificate was given from Warrington to Gunpowder to 
William Maulsby, wife Ann and children William, John and 
Jane.

ELENOR (11) received her certificate from Warrington dated

going there in 1780. Elenor was present at Gunpowder ^Nlduthly 
Meeting held in Baltimore, 30th of 7th mo. 17!>1, her certitieate 
being read and received. She w^as married in 17l*2. There were 
other Maulsbys than William's family in Maryland. They are 
recorded in Gunpowder, Deer creek, Little Falls, Baltimore, Hope- 
well and Deer Creek ^Monthly Meetings. The descendants of these 
early Maulsbys are quite numerous in Baltimore and vicinity and 
to the west. 

John Maulsliy (<')) lived in ^Maryland al)out nine years, the 
children Elenor, Jdhn and Lydia l)cing born there. 24th oi Oth 
month, 1780, at the Gunpowder jMonthly ]\Ieetiiig held at Little 
Falls, "Little Falls Preparative Meeting informs that John 
Maulsby requests a certificate for himself, Lydia his wife, and 
their seven children, Susanna, Ann, William, Sarah, Eleuor, John 
and Lydia." Tlie family moved to Virginia l78()-7, the certificate 
which was produced 80th of Oth month, 1787, being forwarded to 
them. Hopewell ^Monthly Meeting was in Frederick cimnty, about 
ten miles north of Winchester. John ]\raulsby lived south of Ilnpe- 
well in the locality of the Back (^reek fleeting. ''At Hopewell 
Monthly Meeting held the 5th of 11th month, 1787, a certificate 
for John ]\Liulsby and Lydia, his wife, and their children, Su- 
sanna, Ann, William, Sarah, Elenor, John and Lydia, from Gnn- 
])(iw(ler ^Monthly Meetiug, in Maryland, dated the 30tli of Oth

'•7th of the Oth month, 1780, Back Creek Preparative Meeting

and children to Xew Garden Monthly Meeting in Guilford county, 
North Carolina." "5th of lOtli month, 1780. The Friends a]ipointed 



30 GENEALOGY OF THE 

to provide a certificate for John Maulsby, Lydia, his wife and 
seven children, Ann, William, Sarah, Elenor, John, Lydia and 
Ebenezer, produced one which was read, approved and signed." The 
family lived south of Hopewell for two or three years. The young- 
est child Ebenezer was born there. As he grew older, Ebenezer, 
not liking his name, named himself David, by wliich name he will 
be known in this book. Susannah was married in Virginia and 
did not go with the family. Although their certificate was to New 
Garden, ]^. C, the Xew Garden, Guilford county records fail to 
record their arrival. They may have changed their plan, and like 
many other emigrants of that time pushed on to the west in the 
hope of getting away from slavery. Or they may have gone di- 
rectly to Lost Creek, as the territory of the New Garden Monthly 
Meeting included eastern Tennessee. They arrived at Lost 
Creek, Tennessee, some time in 1789. This was, for 
John and Lydia, their last move ; after their wander- 
ings here was home. They were useful and honored mem- 
bers in the new settlement and wdien life's work was over they were 
laid in the Lost Creek burying ground, where the cedar trees keep 
vigil. 

LOST CREEK SETTLEMENT. 

Lost Creek, the central valley of East Tennessee, lies between the 
Erench Broad and Holston rivers. A creek fed by springs, run- 
ning through the valley westward, sinks and runs under Maliony 
hill, coming to the surface again near the Holston river, of which 
it is a tributary. This peculiarity of the creek gives the name 
Lost Creek to the creek and valley. To the north, the Clinch 
mountain range is visible ; to the south Bay's mountain range, 
Bluif mountains, and then a mass of peaks and ridges thrown up 
in wild confusion. The scenery is grand, the climate healthful. 
John Mills (father of William Mills whom Sarah Maulsby mar- 
ried) moved from North Carolina into the valley of Lost Creek 
about 1784, when it was a wilderness with only one cabin to the

west — it was then known as Greene county, X. C. The family 
moved in wagons, taking horses, cows and farm machinery. Earlier 
emigrants crossing the mountains had traveled on pack horses, 
along trails. The family followed the ''Wilderness" route, the 
road along which, probably every one of the families from Guil- 
ford county, ]Sr. C.^ passed en route to Lost Creek. Starting at 
G reensborough — west to Winston — up the river valley to ]\It. Airy 
— across the Blue Ridge mountains and ]^ew River to Abingdon, 
Va., southwest into Tennesee where Bristol now stands — a wind- 
ing route through the mountainous country near the source of the 
Holston river — past the site of Elizabethton, to Jonesboro — to 
Greenville — through Bull's Gap in the mountains — to Morristown 
— to Mossy Creek — and then to Lost Creek. William ]\Iills, then 
a hul of fifteen, in telling of this trip to a grandson, said that when 
they came down the Blue Ridge, the incline was so steep that they 
locked both hind Avagon wheels and chained a tree with branches 
on to the back of the wagon, to help hold back and break the se- 
verity (if the slmek when the wagon struck the bottom. There was 
a settlement of Friends a few miles north of Jonesboro, and an- 
other, called Xew Hope, eight or nine miles east of Greenville. 

John Mills left part of his family at the Greene county settle- 
ment in the present Greene county, and taking the older boys with 
him, l)uilt a cabin about one and a half miles east of the place 
where Lost Creek sinks under Mahony hill, over two miles from 
the point where the creek joins the Holston river. They cleared 
ten acres and planted a crop. William was cook, Avasher and sup- 
plied them with wild game. Later, the rest of the family went to 
the new home, and others with them who settled there. There was 
no road to the west and none to the north. John Maulsby moved 
there in 1789, buying land west of John Mills; Henry and Rachel 
Thornburgh with their younger children about the same time. Bar- 
achiah ]\Iacy and family in lSOi\ Charles Oshorn and Elihu 
Swain at an early (lat(\ all three buying land close to John ]\[ills' 
on the west. Isaac llanmuM- owned the farm vvhere the creek

sinks. Thomas and Ann Marshall and children from Xorth Caro- 
lina were among the early settlers. In bnilding cabins, puncheon 
floors were nsed, the i^lanks nsed in bnilding and for tables and 
cupboards being sawed with a whip-saw. Farm products of that 
time were corn, oats, wheat, buckwheat, pumpkins, garden vege- 
tables, flax and cotton. The nearest postoffice was Greenville, sixty 
miles away — today there is rural free delivery in the same neigh- 
borhood. 

'Jliis being a Quaker settlement one would expect among the first 
things, the estal:)lishment of a ]\Ieeting and a school. John 
]\iaulsby's family, like many other settlers at Lost Creek, were 
recorded as members of Xew Hope Monthly Meeting in Greene 
county, organized 1795, the first Monthly Meeting in Tennessee. 
The Xew Hope records have been found, but give no account of 
the acceptance of certificates of the Lost Creek settlers. New Hope 
Meeting belonged to the K^ew Garden, IST. C, Meeting. It is prob- 
able that the Mills, Maulsby, Thornliurgh, Mendenhall, ]\Iarshall 
and other families of Lost Creek, were among those who requested 
jSTew Hope Meeting, and were claimed as organizing members, and 
not accepted by certificate. A complaint, coming from Xew Llope, 
against William Maulsby (15) for dancing, gives the clue that 
John Maulsby's family membership was there. Friends at Lost 
Creek held their first meetings at John IMill's log cabin, later in his 
new hewed log house, which is still standing. John Mills gave the 
Friends land south of his house for a grave yard and a lot for the 
Meeting House and school house. A hewed log Meeting House about 
30x40, was built 1700-05. The shingles of the roof were juit on 
with wooden pins, the holes for the pins being bored with a brace 
and bit. The lathing was split out and the planks sawed with a 
whipsaw. It was soon enlarged by the addition of another part 
the size of the first. This church stood until the close of the Civil 
War when it was replaced by a painted wooden building. 

For nearly fifty years there has been a village. Friends' Sta- 
tion, near the church.

house, which is still standing, allhough ni()V('(l IVom the original 
site, was about 20x25 feet, made (if hewed pine logs, with foui- 
small windows. A big lire place w^as at the west end. The benches 
without backs, were made of slabs. The writing table, about three 
feet wide, extended along the north side of the room. William 
^lorgan and (diaries Osborn were ])r(imin('nt early teachers. The 
Xew Testament was used as a reading book. The American 
S})elling Book Avas used and spelling considered a very important 
part of instruction. ''Fowler's Arithmetic" and Writing com- 
pleted the course of study. Sarah (10), Elenor (17), John (18), 
Lydia (ID) and David :Maulsby (20) attended school at Lost 
Creek. All <if Ann's children, all of William's, all of Sarah's, 
Elenor's son, two of John's children Xaney and Lemuel, and two

The first modern abolition society was the Tennessee Manumis- 
sion Society, organized at the Lost (h-eek Meeting House January 
25, 1815. The eight charter nunnbers were Charles Osborn, John 
Canaday, John Swain, John Underbill, Jesse Willis, David 
Maulsby, Eliliu Swain and Thomas Morgan. In a preamble they 
extoled the constitution and government and claimed that it was 
the duty of the free sons of Colund)ia to secure these blessings to 
the colored ])eo])le. Thy ado])tod the following constitution. 

"1. Each mendx'r to have an advertisement in the most con- 
sjiiciious part of his house in the following words, viz. : 'Freedom 
is the natural right of all men; I therefore acknowledge myself a

In front of the Lost Creek meeting house, to the south, is the

THE JOHN FAMILY. 

Samuel John and Griffith J(Jni -were sons of John Philip, of 
Pembrokeshire, Wales. According to the Welsh custom they took 
their father's first name for their last name. They came to this 
country in 1709, and settled in Uwchlan township, Chester county, 
Pa. Uwchlan is a Welsh word, signifying ''Land above the Val- 
ley," and was given to a township lying just north of what is 
called the "Great Valley." The settlers of Uwchlan township were 
Welsh. 

It is not clear whether Sanmel John brought his wife with him

Pennsylvania it was before he joined the Society of Friends, as no 
mention is made of their marriage on the records of the meeting. 
His wife's name was Margaret.

''A Testimony' from Uwchlan ^lonthly fleeting in Pennsyl- 
vania, c<incerning Samuel John." 

"He was born in Pembrokeshire, in the ])rinci])ality of Wales, 
in the year 1080, and was cdueated in jirofession with the church 
of England, being (as we have been informed by those who then 
knew him) a sober youth, religiously inclined, and concerned for 
an inward ac(piaintance with the Lord, who had touched his heart 
with a sense of His own state and condition, Avhence desires being 
raised after that which is substantial, he continued seeking for 
many years, and among divers professions. 

''He came over to Pennsylvania in the year 1709, 
and some time after settled at Uwchlan aforesaid, and 
soon joined in society with Friends, having foi- divers 
years before been under some convincement of the prin- 
ciple of truth as held ])y us ; and being measurably faith- 
ful to the manifestation of grace received, the Lord was pleased

to bestow ii])on liiiii a dispensation of the g'ospel to ]n'eaeh, in Avhieli 
we believe he laboured faithfully, and liecame a sound and able 
minister. His sitting in meetings for divine worship was solid 
and exemplarv, often in silence, tho' at times when moved thereto, 
doctrine hath dropped from him as the dew, and his speech dis- 
tilled as the small rain, to the refreshing the hungry and thirsty 
soul. 

"He was an example of plainness and moderation, his conver- 
sation weighty and instructive, also very encouraging to such as 
were well minded ; and divei's small pieces found among his papers, 
which ap]iear as the produce of liis private meditations, manifest 
that his ccjiiversation was often in heaven, and his meditation 0*1 
heavenly things. 

"It was his lot to pass through divers baptising and atiiicting 
circumstances (occasioned by the conduct of some who ought to 
have been a comfort to him in his declining years), which he bore 
with becoming patience, and retained his greenness to the last, 
appearing in a sweet comfortable frame oi mind. He often ex- 
pressed himself in a deep, sensil)le and affecting manner, to some 
who visited him during his last weakness, wliicli continued a con- 
siderable time, being confined at liome thro' bodily infirmity and 
old age, for near tw^o years before his decease. 

''He quietly departed this life on the IGth of the tenth montli, 
1766, in the eighty-seventh year of his age, having been a minister 
about 54 years, and was Imried the 18th of the said month; when 
a solemn meeting was held, wherein the overshadowing of truth 
was measurably felt,, under the influence whereof the unruly were 
warned and the feeble minded comforted and encouraged to pre- 
serve in the way which leads to ])eace." 

Griffith John, son of John Philip and Elin, his wife, was born 
in Pembrokeshire in Wales in the year 1683 ; and came into Penn- 
sylvania on the eleventh day of the second month in the year 170!), 
and married Ann Williams on the twentieth day of the seventh 
month in the year 1714, O. S., and died on the twenty-ninth day

of tlie sixth month in the year 1778, about 40 minutes after 1 
o'clock in ithe afternoon and was buried in Uwchhm on the tirst of 
the seventh month, 1778. 

Ann John, daug'hter of Robert William and Gwen. his wife, was 
born in Goshen, Chester county, in the year 1700, and died the 
17th day of the 0th month in the year 1782, and was l)uried at 
Uwchlan. 

(From Bible in possession of Perry John, Shame tkin Valley, 
1867.) 

A testimony from Fwchhui ^Monthly fleeting- in Pennsylvania, 
concerning' Griffith dohn. 

He was born (by his own account) in Pendn-okeshire, in the 
})rin('ipality of Wales, in the year 1083, and was in his youth an 
earnest seeker after rightodiisness among divers forms of religion, 
until he became measurably convinced of the principle of truth 
as held by Friends, by perusing William Penn's Key to Christian 
Knowledge, before he had much if any outAvard acquaintance with 
them ; and coming over to this country when a young man, he soon 
after joined with Friends in religious fellowship; and being faith- 
fnl to the manifestations of divine grace in his heart, he had a gift 
in the ministry bestowed u])on him; and tho' not large, was 
savoury and edifying; wliicli, together with his exemplary life and 
conversation, manifested him to be an lieavenly minded man, much 
redeemed from the ]ov(» and s]drit of this world. 

He was not anxious abo\it the increase of outward riches, but 
easy and content with a small share thereof ; so much as served for 
bodily su])])ort in great simplicity and plainness, he thaidvfully 
received ; having a testimony against all sn])eriluity, and every- 
thing tending to exalt the mind of man or promote worldly great- 
ness in any degree ; seeking above all, the kingdom of Heaven and 
the rightconsness thereof. 

He was a lover of peace amongst brethren and in his neighbor- 
hood ; and by precept and example laboured to prouKjte it ; being 
at times concerned to travel about on foot, even in advanced age, to 



GENEALOGY OF THE 



his friends' houses, and pay short visits in true christian love, and 
drop weighty and edifying hints, tending to stir up the pure mind ; 
and scarcely anything was said by him at any time but what had 
a tendency that way. 

He was a remarkable and worthy example, in constantly and 
early attending our religious meetings, until upwards of ninety 
years of age ; when through weakness and infirmity, he was eon- 
fined at home, and underwent great bodily affliction with true 
christian fortitude and resignation to the divine will, ])atiently 
waiting his change, which was on tlu^ ^9th of the sixth month, 
1778 ; aged about ninety-five, and a minister near 70 years. 

(Collection of Memorials, Phila. 1787.) 

Samuel John and Ann Jenkin declared their intention of mar- 
riage at Uwchlan Monthly Meeting 8-17-1737. Committees were 
appointed to make inquiry as to their clearness of engagements to 
others. At the next meeting, the report being favorable, they were 
given permission to proceed in marriage, the inquirers 1 icing ap- 
pointed to have an oversight of the wedding. 

The marriage certificate, as recorded, shows that Samuel John, 
of the township of Uwchlan, son of Samuel John, and Ann Jenkin

a certificate of the same date to the same meeting. Samuel John 
must have lived in Xewl)erry township, as the Friends' Meeting 
was changed from the widow ]\ranlsbys to Samuel John's 3-11- 
1780. 10-13-1781 the meeting was still spoken of as being at the

Susannah Manlsby was Itorn in Pennsylvania ])r(ibably in the 
Plynionth settlement, as the family held membership at that time 
in (i\yvnedd Monthly Meeting. With ])arents she removed to 
^Maryland in 1777, nine or ten years later going on with them to 
northern \"irginia. Susannah, or '*Aunt Susie,''' as she was called 
in later life, was fair coinplexioned, like the .Manlsbys, with blue 
eyes and light hair. She was of medium size, had a bright mind 
and good memory. When young she liked outdoor work, helping 
her father, even in the iields. At one time, when at work with 
him grubbing, she became faint. lie said to her, "Loosen thy 
pretty coat." She did so and sat doAvn under a hush, amused that 
he made so light of her illness. The following is found among 
the marriage licenses of Frederick county, Xn. : ''Henry Baldwin, 
License to nuirry Susamiah ]\[anlsby October 21st, 1790." Henry 
Baldwin was the son of Henry and ^Margaret Baldwin. His father 
was lost at sea. 

\\ the time of Susannah's nuirriage, it was a very grave offense 
among the Quakers to be married "out of meeting.'' From the 



48 GENEALOGY OF THE 

records of the Hopewell Monthly Meeting held the 1st day of the 
11th month, 17!)0. "Hopewell Preparative Meeting' informs that 
Susannah Baldwin, formerly ^lanlsbv, hath accom])lished her 
marriage, by the assistance of a Hireling Teacher," the necessary 
arrangements being made to look after her case. And again, ''At 
Hopewell Monthly Meeting held Ith of -ttli month, 1701, Xew 
Garden (]N. C.) Monthly Meeting informs that they visited Sn- 
sannah Baldwin, according to our request, and find the charge to 
be just against her," arrangements being made to provide a testi- 
mony against her. The record does not state the result of the 
grave (?) investigation, whether she was disowned from member- 
ship, or the matter adjusted so that she received her letter. Henry 
Baldwin was probably a member of the Friends' church, as no 
complaint was entered against Susannah for marrying one not a 
member of that Society. This complaint is given to show that she 
and husband were at Xew Garden, IsT. C, after her father's fam- 
ily had gone to Tennessee. They removed soon, however, to Ten- 
nessee, buying a farm three miles southwest of the Meeting 
House at Lost Creek. The children attended school in Knox 
county. Henry Baldwin was a farmer. He had also a ''Hatter 
Shop," where the entire hat or cap was made in the shop. Henry 
Baldwin died in Tennessee 1814-15. Later, Susannah, a widoAv 
moved with her daughters to Indiana. The following record is of 
her second marriage. 

Adam Ceeshee^ 

Susannah Baldwin, 
Oct. 30, 1823. 

Jacob IsT. Booker^ J. P. 

At Centerville, Wayne county, Indiana." 

This marriage was unhappy, as Adam Crcsher was a drinking 
man. Susannah lived with him only a short time, wishing after- 
ward to be called Susie Baldwin. For years she lived alone in 
Economy, Ind., supporting herself by selling table oil cloths, which 
she made. She understood a process of preparing muslin, ])ainting

it black and stamping it with bright colors. These oil cloths were 
made ont of doors in the summer. In the fall, she saddled her 
horse and took them ont to sell, going generally into the sonthwest 
part of the connty, where there was a German settlement. She 
bronght on her blindness by working on the bright colored oil 
cloths in the snnshine. Snsannah was very enthnsiastic abont the 
"John Estate" in Wales, hnnting records and dreaming dreams. 
When the estate was received, she was going to have a "pacing 
horse and a saddle with a gold stirrnp." She wrote poetry, the 
poetical talent showing itself again in her great-grandchild, Alice 
(Williams) Brotherton. Abont 1S54 she went to live with her 
yonngest daughter Snsannah Wright and her family at iZconomy. 
She lived to be over \)'2. ITer hair was white as snow, her dream 
of the Estate had failed, she was almost totally blind, l)nt was 
bright and cheerfnl, saying, "Oh, it's nothing to l)e old if yon don't 
feel old!" She died in lS(jl, and was l)nried in the grave yard 
belonging to the Springtield (Quaker ]\Ieeting, near Economy, Ind., 
beside her Itrother, David Alanlsbv.

GENEALOGY OF THE 



Ann Manlsby was born in Pennsylvania, 1771. She removed 
with parents to Maryland in 1777, nine or ten years later to Vir- 
ginia, and to Tennessee in 17S!). She was fair complexioned with 
blue eyes and light hair, of medinni size and weight. Her grand-

that carried the wheat and corn. Her route lay over a mountain, 
the trip taking two days. 

This incident and that of Susannah grubl)ing in the field, recall 
to mind the fact that altliough in a (Quaker settlement, John 
Maulsbys were surrounded by people who had slaves. Slavery was 
contrary to the teachings of the Friends. About 175 8 it became 
with them a dishonorable offense to hold slaves, or to employ them 
or give any encouragement whatever to the work of bondage. These

fair i>irls, takiiiii' u]) choorfnlly for conscience's sake, work too hard 
for tlieni — the nii(lii>iiitied shive work of their neighbors — have 
given to their ehiklren and ehiklren's chihlren a heritage beyond 
price ! 

Ann Manlsby and Ilenrv Thornbnrgh were married at Lost 
Creek, Tenn., the births from the above family record being taken 
from tlie Lost Creek jMonthly INIeeting records. They owned a 
farm at Lost Creek, northeast of the chnrch, but sohl ont, and in 
1819 removed in wagons to Indiana, tlie trip taking six weeks. 
Henry's brother Walter and sister Soi)hia Williams (a widow) 
with their families were of the company. Henry bought land of 
the government at $1.25 per acre on West Eiver about three miles 
from Economy. Ann, or "Aunt Xancy" as she was called, was 
very benevolent and of a gentle disposition. To the offending 
grandchild she would say with a smile, "If thee does not mind 
me, I will ])ut a stick on thy back." Henry was a determined 
num, set in his convictions, and must ])e obeyed, right or wrong. 
Ann did both spinning and weaving and was a tine needlewoman. 
She was a Quaker milliner, making the finest of Quaker bonnets. 

Ann and Henry Thornburgh lived together nearly sixty-eight 
years, Henry's death l)eing the tirst in the family. Henry died 
in Wayne county, Ind., August 11, 1SG2, and was buried in West 
Iviver burying ground. 

Several years after Henry's death, "Aunt Xancy" came to Iowa 
to make her home, but died soon after coming, October 15, 1807, 
when nearly !)6 years old, and was buried in the S])ring Valley 
cemetery, one mile south of Perry, Iowa.

Jonathan and family moved to Indiana earlier than Henry

was born in Tennessee, January (i, 1703, lived to be 85 years old. 
Elizabeth (Dennis) Tliornburgh was Ixirn January 4, ITOT), also 
lived to be S5. Jonathan was a (|uiet man; a good hnancier. All

diana. In middle life Henry and family moved to Dallas county, 
Iowa, where nearly all of his children make their homes. 

THE THORNBURGH FAMILY. 

There is a tradition in this family, that two Tliornburgh 
brothers, young English Quakers, came to this country with Wil- 
liam Penn, but no proof has been found to verify the tradition. 

Probably the earliest account of the family is from the "Mills 
Family" when Henry Mills "married a Tliornburgh of the stock 
of Walter Th()rnl)urgh." There is no means of ascertaining where 
this marriage occurred, but it probably was near Winchester, in 
. Virginia, some fifteen years before the Mills family moved to 
jS'orth Carolina. Hopewell Monthly Meeting, in Frederick coun- 
ty, Va., was established in 1735. Unfortunately the first record 
book, from 1735 to 1751), Avas destroyed l)y tire. If Walter Tliorn- 
burgh lived there, the record of his family and certificate of re- 
moval were probably in that book. The Ho]jewell records men- 
tion Thomas and Benjamin Tliornburgh in 1759 ; Ann, Sarah and

The first eh'arlv (h-tined aeeoiint of (1) Walter Thornhuruh is 
from \e\v (iarden, Gnilford county, N. C, at the mai-riagv of his 
son Henry. On account of the custom of parents' signatures com- 
ing first among the witnesses, it is probable that Margaret Thorn- 
burgh was Walter's wife. The records of the Friends' church has 
the following: "Whereas (2) ILenrv Thornburgh, son of Walter 
Thornburgli of Tfoan county, and IJachel Moon, daughter of Simon 
Moon of the same place having declared their intentions of mar- 
riage with each other before several monthly meetings of the people

in the East Linn cemetery near Kedtield, Dalhis connty. 

THE MACY FAMILY. 

The first record of Thomas ^lacy, the f(inn(h'r of the Macy fam- 
ily in America, was when he was made a freeman ye (! day ye 7th 
month (Sejit. ) 1031), at Xewbnry, Mass. Xo nnm was allowed to 
vote nntil he had taken the freenum's oath. Thomas Macy and his 
wife Sarah Ho])cott came from Chilmark, England, and settled at 
Newbnry abont the year 1()31. In 1()30 they with others from 
Xewbnry, fonnded Salisbnry, only a short distance away, nam- 
ing the town for Salisbnry of England. Idiomas j\[acy was a mer- 
chant, a planter and held positions of honor in the settlement. 
He was a Baptist and in the absence of the ordained minister, 
often exhorted the peojde on the Sabbath. 

In l()5<i and KIT)? Massachnsetts passed many laws wliich cnr- 
tailed tlie religions freedom of her ])eo])le. One law banished all 
Qnakers from the state, fV)rbidding their return on penalty of 
death; another im]:)osed a fine on any one who shonld harbor a 
Qnaker, gi\'ing the coni't ])ermission to add ])cnalties if it so de- 
sired. Another law made it a misdemeanor for anyone, except a 
regnlarly ordained minister, to preach to the ])eo])le on the Sab- 
bath. The last law was made to restrain .Joseph Peasley and 
Thomas ]\Iacy from preaching. The people of Salisbury were di- 
vided on the subject of religion, there being a nnnd)er of Baptists, 
l)ut the majority belonging to the old Puritan church. The Bap- 
tists petitioned to have the town divided; the Pnritains objected, 
wishing the support of the whole town for their minister. The 
court deci(h'(l that all the inhabitants shoidd attcMid the Puritan 
church and lud}) sup])ort the minister. ^Many of th(> people re- 
fused to obey the order, whereupon the conrt ordered a warrant 
issned requiring "Joseph Peasley, Thomas Macy and all the rest

of the inlial)itants of the new towne, being masters of families" to 
appear before the court at Salisbnry and answer if thev had been 
obedient or disobedient to the order, the tine for disobedience be- 
ing 5 shillings for each day's absence. This order passed October 
26, 1658. On the 29th of the same month another order passed 
''that Joseph Peaslev and Thomas Macy do appear before the gen- 
eral covirt to answer for their disorderly practices. 

Thomas Macy was a man of courage and of action and it is 
quite probable that these attempts to control his religion made him 
determined to secure a home Avliere God could be worship])ed ac- 
cording to the dictates of each man's conscience. Early in 1659, 
he with nine others, bought Xantucket Island, the deed not being- 
made out until July of that year. Thomas ]\Iayliew of Martha's 
Vineyard bought the Patent Right to Xantucket Island October 
13, 1611, of Hon. Lord Sterling. He sold the island in 1659, the 
deed being made out July 2, he with nine others being the pur- 
chasers. T. Mayhew's terms of sale were ''ye Sume of Thirty 
Pounds of Current Pay * * * and also two Beaver Hatts, one 
for myself e and one for my wife." The ten owners of Xantucket 
were Thomas Mayhew, Tristram Coffin, (Christopher Ilussye, 
ard Swaine, Thomas Barnard, Peter Coffin, Christopher Hussye, 
Stephen Greenleafe, John Swayne and Willni Pike. 

In the summer of 1659, at Salisbury, Thomas Macy gave shelter 
to four Quakers. Complaint was made and he was ordered to ap- 
pear before the general court and answer the cjiarges. Instead of 
going he sent the following letter, which is taken from the "Gene- 
alogy of the Macy Family," by Silvanus J. Macy of Xew York. 

"This is to entreat the honored court not to be offended because 
of my non-appearence. It is not from any slighting the authority 
of the honored court, i\ov from feare to answer the case ; but I have 
bin for some weeks past very ill, and am so at present ; and not- 
withstanding my illness, yet I, desirous to appear, have done t- 
utmost endeavour to hire a horse, but can not procure one at pres- 
ent. I, being at present destitute have endeavored to purchase,

but at present cannot attaine it, but I shall relate tlie truth of the 
case, as my answer would be to ye honored court, and more cannot 
be proved, nor so much. On a rainy morning, there came to my 
house, Edward Wharton and three men more; the said Whartcm 
spoke to me, saying that they were traveling eastward and desired 
me to direct them in the way to Hampton, and asked me how far 
it was to Casco Bay. I never saw any of ye men afore except 
Wharton, neither did I require tlicir names or what they were; 
but by their carriage I thought they might 1)0 (Quakers and told 
them so; and therefore desired them to passe on tlieir way, saying 
I might possibly give offense in entertaining them, and as soone as 
the violence of the rain ceased (for it rained very hard), they 
went away and I never saAv them since. The time that they stayed 
in the house was al)out three-quarters of an hour; l)ut I can safely 
affirme it was not an houre. They s])ake nut numy words in the 
time, neither was I at leisure to talk with them; for I came home 
wet to ye skin; innnediately afore they came to the house and T 
found my wife sick in bed. If this satisfie not the honored court 
I shall subject to their sentence. I have not willingly offended. 
I am ready to serve and obey you in the Lord. 27 d of ye 8 m. 59

''Thos. Macy." 

He was fined 30 shillings (which he paid) and admonished by 
the governor. Tradition, ])rol)al»ly aided l)y J. G. Whittier's 
poem, "The Exiles," tells a thrilling story of Thomas Macy's es- 
cape to Xantucket, followed by the sheriff and priest — leaving 
houses and lands and household goods. But Macy's character, he 
said he feared not "the witches on earth, or the devils in hell," 
and the records both prove that he was master of his own move- 
ments. In Septend)er or October, l^&4)-;i with his wife and five 
children and such household goods as they could carry, accom- 
panied l)y Isaac Ooleman, a lad of twelve, and Edward Starbnck, 
in a small vessel, he set sail for Xantucket Island. They were the 
first wdiite settlers of the island. The Indians on the island were

with lisli and lianie. Air. Wliittier, Avliile nsing a poet's liberty 
in regard to the facts of the removal to Xantncket, certainly por- 
trayed trnthfnlly the spirit of freedom and good will manifested 
on the island. After describing the perilons voyage and speaking 
of the landing he says : 

"And how in log-built cabin, /' 

They braved the rough sea-weather; 
And there, in peace and quietness, 

AVent down life's vale together. 

How others drew around them 

And how their fishing sped. 
Until to every wind of Heaven. 

Nantucket's sails were spread. 

How pale want alternated 

With plenty's golden smile; 
Behold, is it not written 

In the annals of the isle? 

And yet that isle remaineth 

A refuge of the free, 
As when true hearted Macy 

Beheld it from the sea. 



God hies? the sea-beat island! 

And grant forever more 
That charity and freedom dwell. 

As now, upon her shore! 

As early as l(iT2 whale fishing became an important indnstry. 
When on a voyage, the men did not receive wages, but took shares 
in the profits. Dnring the winter the men worked at some trade. 
The women did their jiart of the work. They taught and cared 
for tlie children, kept honse and even fonnd time for fancy needle 
work. The writer owns a child's endiroidered silk sleeve, made 
on the island about 1695. 

The records of Xantucket show that Thomas Macy was honored 
and useful in the settlement. He died April 10, 1082, aged 74,

THE TENNESSEE SETTLEMENT IN WAYNE CO., IND. 

This was called in the early days the Tennessee settlement, be- 
canse of the great nnmber from Tennessee Avho settled there. 
Richard Williams moved there in ISl-t; Thomas Swain and fam- 
ily from ^orth Carolina in 1815 ; Miles Marshall and family in 
1816; David Manlsby and family in 1817; Jesse Willis and fam- 
ily abont 1817; The Thornbnrghs and Ihiderhills, 1810; the rJor- 
dons, Gwinns and Elihu Swain at an early date. The land had to 
be cleared of a heavy timber. The farms were small — 100 acres, 
80 or even 10, making the home. In tiie pioneer settlement the 
women did fnlly their share of the work. They took the raw cot- 
ton, spnn it and wove it into clothing, also flax of their raising- 
was made into clothing and bedding. They dressed ]dain after 
the Qnaker fashion, doing their sewing by hand. The families 
lived plain, the yonnger girls often doing the cookina, the older 
ones helping in the spinning and weaving. A Meeting ITonse 
called Springfield, having a grave yard in connection, was bnilt 
near Economy. West Kiver had its own Meeting Honse and grave 
yard. Chas. Osborn, who lived in early manhood at Lost C^reek, 
was perhaps the leading Qnaker preacher connected with the 
Springfield Meeting. The town of Economy, in the Tennessee 
settlement, was laid ont by Chas. Osborn in 18-21. There were 
schools there as early as 1817. Reading, spelling, writing and 
arithmetic were tanglit ; also grannnar for the boys, bnt it was 
thonght innuodest for girls to study grammar. Some of the early 
teachers were Elijah Reynolds, Elijah Mendenhall, Jimmy Os- 
born and Miner \^a Marshall. There was a strong anti-slavery sen- 
timent from the fonnding of the settlement. The most noted anti- 
slavery meeting w^as the district anti-slavery convention held at 
the Springfield Meeting Honse, Xovend)er 0-10, 1840. Isaiah 
Osborn, son of Charles Osborn, was made president and John ]\r.

Williams secretary. Daniel Worth was one of a committee of 
three to prepare business for the convention. This convention 
recommended that the abolitionists of the United States call a 
convention to noiiiinato a candidate for President and Vice-Presi- 
dent for the election of 1S44. A state convention for the ])roiiio- 
tion of political anti-slavery action, was held at Xewjiort, Wayne 
county, February 8, 1841. Thus was begun in Indiana part of 
the great movement which eventually freed the slaves. In 1843, 
Charles Osborn was sent as a delegate to the Peace convention lield 
in London. 

The following quaint poem, found in an old paper, is eloquent 

of the Quaker thought, that the slaves could be freed by means of 
peace. 

ADDRESS. 

To Charles Osbobn^ the Indiana J)elegate to the World's Con- 
vention to be held in London on the 13tli of the Gtli month 1843. 

Not to the fatal battlefield. 

Where mortal must to mortal yield. 

We summon thee to go, 
Not to stand uu in mortal strife 
To take a fellow motal's life 
And make a widdow of a wife. 

And fill the earth with wo; 

But to the glorious moral field. 
The potent arms of truth to wield. 
The needs' from the strong to shield, 

And break the oppressor's rod. 
To plead for justice in his name 
Who came to heal the blind and lame. 
And is to all mankind the same, 

A .iujt and righteous God. 

We ask thee not to leave thy home. 
And o'er the mighty deep to roam. 
Where stormy tempests often come. 

On any slight pretension; 
P.ut to unite with kindred souls. 
Prom every clime between the poles. 
Near where the Thame? majestic rolls. 
In one august Convention: 



80 . GENEALOGY OF THE 

To hear the bondman's bleeding cause, 
And plead for truth and equal laws. 
In fear of him whose mandate awes 

The tempest to be still. 
We ask thee, aged as thou art. 
With friends and relatives to part. 
And for a foreign clime to start. 

Obedient to His will. 

'Twill be a most majestic sight. 

To see a world convened, to fight 
For what is true and what is right. 

With none but arms of peace. 
The booming cannon need not tell 
That many a fellow man has fell 
And made the streams with purple swell. 

To make oppression cease. 

Our motto is not blood for blood, 
But 'tis the living truth of God, 
Which man has never yet withstood 

Without Divine displeasure^ 
Peace and good will to every man. 
Of every grade, and clime, and clan, 
We aim to deal out, if we can. 

In a, prolific measure. 

And may that God who rules above. 
In bowels of eternal love. 

Be pleased to haste the hour. 
When not a slave shall till the soil. 
Or man be made for man to toil 

By arbitrary power. 

No garment died in human gore 

Shall shroud the warrior's form, when o'er 

His head the banner floats. 
And victor songs are rising high. 
To stir the quiet of the sky 

With their rejoicing notes. 

And when thy trials here are o'er, 
May'st thou land safely on that shore 
Where troubles cease forevermore.

The next generation of the Maulsbvs shows that the sons of 
these who advocated methods of peace, with (Quaker blood in their 
veins and the peace words ringing in their ears, took arms at tlieir 
conntrv's calL The nnnd)er of relatives who served in the army 
shows that none were more loval than the Maulsbvs. 

The Wayne county settlement marks the parting of the way in 
regard to membership in the Friends church. In the breaking ofp 
of the anti-slavery Friends, many of our family lost their mem- 
bership in the parent body. Some lost their meml:)ersliip by marry- 
ing "out of meeting;'" others for seeing some one married out of 
meeting. The younger members were annoyed by what they 
thought an over strictness about their dress, amusements and 
attending other meetings. All our Maulsl)ys to the fifth genera- 
tion were Quakers. IS^early all the fifth generation began life as 
Quakers, the "thee and thy" and the Quaker discipline being in 
their homes, but in later life fully one-half joined other denom- 
inations or renuiined out of church relations. In the sixth genera- 
ation the Friends church has only its share among Christian de- 
'lominations.

to be deeply regretted tht she died in the prime of her life, for the 
world needs such good women. She came frcm lier (piict village 
home in Illinois, to nurse the sick soldiers, for her heart burned 
with jiatriotic fei-v(U". ^NTo sister of charity was ever more devoted 
to good works than this quiet, unostentious Quaker maiden."

Wiley R. (229) married Polly Barnard; Ehvood A. (230),

As Lemuel Manlsln- was one of the earliest of the family to 
reach Iowa, it may he Avell to look for a moment at the 

MAULSBY SETTLEMENT, IN DALLAS COUNTY, IOWA. 

Lemuel ^Lmlshy (51) and 
children and some of the Marshalls, relatives by marria^i'e, settled 
in the southern part of the county, the South Racoon river, giving 
the name South 'Coon to the neighborhood. In the northern part 
of the county were Lewis Thornburgh ( o2 ) and family ; Henry 
Thornburgh (35) and family; Lewis Maulsby (58) and family, 
David, John and Lindsay Willis and others of the Willis family, 
relatives of the Maulsbys through their Macy blood. From their 
river, Xorth Raccoon, this settlement was called ^orth 'Coon. 
Later the town of Perry was f(uinded in the neighburhood. 

Between the two settlements Init nearer South '(/oon, was the 
settlement on Middle Raccoon and its tributary ^Lisquito Creek. 
This was near Irish Town, called later Redfield, and these rela- 
tives were the Redfield "folks" — William M. Th(U"nburgh (49) 
and family, John II. ]\Iaulsby ((10) and family, Sally Ann 
(Jones) Bailey ( (iT ) and family, William Maiilsby ((*>!») and 
family and his mother, Mary (ALicv) Maulsby, who made her 
home with her children ; Luciuda ( Maulsby) Davis (TO) and fam- 
ily, John Maulsby (71) and family, Dr. Macy B. Maulsby (72) 
and family, Malinda (Alanlsby) Patty (74) and children, Lydia 
(Maulsby) Davis (74) and family, and Ezra ]\Liulsbv (7<')) and 
family. Many of these families included grown children with fam- 
ilies of their own. Taken together these relatives were a great 
coni])any, and the land they entered or bought was of the choicest 
and was counted by llie section, half or quarter — not acre farms. It 
seemed a promised land with its rich snil, free from stum]is, the 
great distances giving a sense of free<lom. Melissa AIaulsl)y (3(37)

wrote back to Indiana that their front yard reached to the Mis- 
sissippi river. 

Comfortable homes were built and schools started. The fields 
yielded abundantly, pasture was at the door, Avild game was plenti- 
ful. Probably the greatest hardship was in getting the farm pro- 
ducts to market. It was taken in wagons to Fort Des Moines, to 
Sioux C^ity or even to Keokuk. There were dreadful days, too, 
very early, when dear ones sickened and died, with no medical 
help near. But all in all, our Maulsbys were well satisfied, the 
Maulsby laugh driving away many heartaches, and reverberating 
yet among our hills. 

There was much visiting done among the relatives, and going 
to South 'Coon or to Xorth 'Coon, or to see the "folks" at Eedfield 
was a great thing, the remembrance of the visit being sufficient to 
tide one over the busy farm season, or the snow bound winter 
months. 

Some years later John Thornburgh (36) and family, Larkiii 
Maulsby (59) and family. Pleasant Jones (0(3) and family, and 
Matilda (Maulsby) Scott (77) and family joined the Kedfield 
relatives.

then moved to Porter county, Iniyini;' land in what was called the 
"big timber" near Valparaiso. They bnilt a cabin and cleared a 
farm. About ten years later, they built a story and a half frame 
house, which with an addition built in the early sixties, is still

casings and sash, looking as they did fifty years ago. Benny and

house, and then in their homes, on first day at Benny ^Maulsby's

not go, so he sent his son Thomas (^78), a barefoot lad of nine 
years. Xathan and the boy were alone at the meeting, which was 
then held in the school house. They sat for one hour in silence, 
shook hands and went home. Thomas recalls it as the time wheu 
he sat next to the head in meeting. On account of wanting better 
cliurcli privileges for the family, the home in P(n*ter county Avas

THE PATTY FAMILY. 

Family tradition says there were three Patty brothers who 
came from England into jSTew England at an early day. Two 
of them remained there, the other going either to x^orth or South 
Carolina. It was from the lirother who went into Carolina that 
our line of Pattys is descended. James Patty, wife Morrins and 
children — Mark being one of the children — moved from I^orth 
Carolina into Montgomery or Miama county, Ohio, a few miles 
north of Dayton. They were Quakers. David W. Jones of Fort 
Wayne, Ind., now 81 years old, remembers seeing the family often 
at Quaker meeting there ; also of being in their home.

moved to northern Iowa. A few years later they came to Dallas 
county, buying a farm adjoining John Maulsby's (71). Joel P.

Amos Davis was of Welsh descent and Quaker parentage. He 
was of powerful physique. He was known as a great anti-slavery 
worker, and many a fugitive slave found a friend in him. The 
family moved from Kentucky to Ohio, buying land in the "Clark 
]\Lilitary Lands." The title to this land being defective, they 
soon moved (in 1819) to Clinton county, Ohio, buying the farm 
on which the family lived until Amos' death in 18 5 G. Marv 
(John) Davis was of Welsh and German parentage. Her father 
Isaac John, was a Quaker, her mother a High Church communi- 
cant. Mary was a small, blue-eyed woman of great kindness of 
heart. She was a member of the Friends church. Her son, Job 
H., in 1819 paid the following tribute of respect to her memory. 
The lines are found in an old all)um in Jol) H.'s handwriting. 

"How oft do I think of a dear, sainted, motlier. 

Long since in the land where the weary find rest, 
It kindles my soul with a flame I can't smother 

I know she's an angel on Abraham's breast. 
Her pious advice on my mind is engraven — 

As oft she did point to the "Volume of Life," 
That told of a Savior, and promised a Heaven, 

Exempt from all tumult, all care and all strife." 

From reference to the John family, it will be seen that Isaac 
John, son of Sanniel John and Ann (Jenkin) John, took a cer- 
tificate for himself and wife, Lydia and children Rebecca, Samuel 
and Elizabeth, to Exeter Monthly Meeting, Berks county, Pa., 
8-8-1772. Isaac John must have nnn-ried again, as the bible of 
Job H. Davis at Lizton, Indiana, has a list of the following:

Tliere is regret, in laying down the pen, in not being able to 
follow the history of the Sixth Generation. The material could 
be easily ol>tained, bnt the history of that great company, 319, 
would so enlarge the book as to defeat the plan, that it should be 
a handy record book for each family. The hope is that each will 
continue the record by adding that of his own family, and of his 
children's families.
